Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins desire to call the special attention of the 
traveling public to the above periodical, which gives every information 
needful to the traveler, with regard to How, When, and Where to travel, 
to all contemplating European trips, giving particulars as to routes, ex- 
penses, and the time necessary for any tour, with th/* fares, by any line of 
steamers, including the railway tickets issued by them to any part of 
Europe. It is intended to supply a want long felt in this country, and it 
will therefore be the aim of Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins, through the j 
columns of the Excursionist, to keep the public fully posted on all mat- 
ters of travel, both in this country and Europe, so that when the hot 
months approach, and the tired merchant, or clerk, or school teacher, who 
have a few days, or a few weeks vacation, wishes to get away for rest and 
recreation, they will only have to procure a copy of the Excursionist, 
which will suggest to them a hundred different tours of which they, per- 
haps, never heard. 

The Excursionist is publis'hed monthly during the Tourist season, sub- 
scription price 50 cents per year; single copies 10 cents.

EDUCATIONAL TOUR. 



-:o:- 



The complete succes*of the great experimental trip of 1873 has encour- 
aged the inaugurators of a system of School Vacation Tours to Europe to 
arrange for a second tour in the coming season. 

The arrangements f or-the next tour will be constructed so as to meet the 
desires of various persons as to the extent of the journey and the districts and 
countries of Continental Europe which they may desire to visit, and the 
experience of the first tour has suggested various improvements which may 
be introduced into the details of succeeding trips. It is a source of inex- 
pressible satisfaction to the managers of the Tour of the past season that 
their most sanguine and anxious desires and expectations were fully realized. 
The number of the party was quite equal to the arrangements which they 
had made, and the ideas they had formed as to s whajfc provision might be 
comfortably made. One hundred and forty-eight passengers by the magnifi- 
cent steamer "Victoria," of the Anchor Line, gathered from 27 States of 
the Union, embracing a great number of the leading instructors from 
various sections, including professors of colleges, public and private school 
teachers, ministers, press representatives, and others engaged in various 
departments of educational work, constituted an aggregate such as had 
never before landed on British soil, and awakened in the public mind of 
Great Britain and Ireland sentiments of reciprocity and enthusiasm which 
were manifested towards the visitors in the most expressive and cordial 
manner. The Public Receptions accorded to them by the Lord Provost and 
leading citizens of Edinburgh, by the Mayor and many of the principal 
inhabitants of Derby, by the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury at the 
Gardens of Alton Towers, and by the leading men connected with the 
British and Foreign Sunday School Union, as well as their recognition by 
Mr. Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, all tended to show the high 
appreciation of their visit to Europe. These recognitions strikingly accorded 
with the anticipations formed by Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins in their at- 
tempts to promote international intercourse between England and America, 
and afforded evidence that under a system of mutual arrangement on either 
side of the Atlantic it would be possible to organize such arrangements as 
would tend to the development of those feelings of mutual concord and 
reciprocity which only required the opportunity for their development. 
It is matter of high satisfaction and gratitude that this large party was en- 
abled to travel through countries which were to some extent at the time 
affected by cholera, and also to visit Southern Italy at a time of the year 
when it is not usual for large parties to visit that country, and that the 
whole were enabled to accomplish the tour in the enjoyment of uninter- 
rupted health, and with the exception of some eight or ten who are now 
lingering in Europe for educational purposes, the whole reached their desti- 
nations in the States in the enjoyment of excellent health, and no disaster 
occurred to mar the pleasure of the tour. While Mr. Jenkins in New 
York gave his attention and months of labor to the inauguration of arrange- 
ments and the bringing together of the citizens from so many parts of the 
United States, Thomas Cook and Son sent over to New York one of their 
most attentive assistants to accompany the party, and at Moville Thomas 



4: COOK S SECOND EDUCATIONAL TOUB. 

Cook and Son personally met the steamer, with a view of carrying out the first 
part of the arrangements for a visit to the Giant's Causeway in Ireland, and 
for the conduct of the entire party through that part of Scotland included 
in the Tour. Their offers and proposals to the steamship company of the 
Anchor line, and to the railroad companies of Scotland and England, were 
met by most cheerful and hearty responses, and the very best services were 
rendered by each of the companies concerned in the carrying out of the 
arrangements, and after the party had reached London, where it became 
necessary to divide them into four sections for visiting the continent, Mr. 
Thomas Cook, the senior partner, gave his whole time and attention to the 
supervision of the arrangements, assisted by a staff of the best conductors 
in their employ. The complete success of the general arrangements has 
been attested in the most sincere manner by nearly every one of the pas- 
sengers since their return to America. As there is not in the 
coming season any special attraction like that of Vienna, involving 
a great extent of traveling between Munich and the capital of 
Austria, for the one purpose of seeing the Exhibition, the plans for the 
Tour now advertised will be framed so as to give the best possible facilities 
for visiting the most attractive parts of the Continent, and although the 
mileage distance may be somewhat less than that which was traveled last 
year, the programme will be better filled up in its details and several points 
which had to be omitted last year will be included in the next arrange- 
ments, which will more than compensate for the small addition made to 
the expense of traveling over the routes provided for. This advance is 
owing principally to the requirements of the steamship line, who were 
totally unable to quote so low a fare as last year, it being too low to ad- 
mit of that provision in the traveling accommodation which it is desirable 
should be realized. The conditions of the company last year required that 
the whole should return by four appointed steamers, and all who stayed 
beyond the limits of the time provided were required to pay an extra $25 
for the privilege of returning at any time within twelve months from the 
time of departure. This arrangement has been modified very much to the 
convenience of the travelers for the approaching Tour. Instead of the 
passengers being restricted to three or four steamers they are allowed to 
return without extra payment by any of the steamers of the line within six 
months from the time of departure, and an additional six months is allowed 
on condition of their having to pay the sum of $10. This is an advantage 
which will be equivalent to a very considerable portion of the extra amount 
charged by the company, and will leave the passengers much greater free- 
dom in their choice of steamers for returning. 

Another deficiency in the former arrangement was the very limited tour 
made in Scotland, which caused regret on the part of many of the travelers, 
and some of them hurried back in anticipation of the return of the steam- 
ers, to get more comprehensive views of the interesting Highland district. 
It is arranged for the coming trip that the whole party shall have the 
opportunity not only of seeing the two chief cities of the country, the two 
or three principal lakes in connection with the Trossachs and Stirling, but 
that in addition to these attractions the arrangements will be made to embrace 
six days in the Highlands amidst the magnificent scenery. Before detailing 
the itineraries of the routes to be provided for, and stating the terms, it 
will be interesting to those who are thinking of making the tour to be 
informed in a summary way what are its chief divisions and the principal 
attractions by the way. We have, therefore, the pleasure to intimate*that 
the arrangement is again made with the Anchor Steamship Company, who 
have contracted with us to place at the service of the party one of their 



COOK S SECOND EDUCATIONAL TOUB. 

finest new steamers, which will leave New York on either the 20th or 27th of 
June, as may be found most practicable. Mr. Thomas Cook, who, pre- 
vious to that time is to conduct a Tourist Party to America, will accom- 
pany the Educational Party from New York in person, and at Moville he 
will be met by his son, Mr. John M. Cook, who will co-operate in carrying 
out the Irish and Scotch arrangements. 

ROUTE. 

The steamer will stop at Moville a sufficient time to enable the party 
to land and to be conducted from Londonderry to Portrush and the 
Giant's Causeway. Returning to the steamer, the party will proceed to 
the Clyde, and after spending a day or two, as the case may be, in 
Glasgow, the Trossachs, Loch Lomond, and Loch Katrine will be visited 
by the entire party in one day under a double arrangement similar to 
that of last year, which worked out with very great success. The party 
will then proceed, by the magnificent line of Saloon Steamers of David 
Hutcheson & Co., down the Clyde through the Kyles of Bute to the Crinan 
Canal ; from thence amongst the islands of the Atlautic coast to Oban. 
A day will be devoted to a visit to Staffa and Iona, for the purpose of see- 
ing the world-renowned Cave of Fingal and the celebrated Island where 
Christianity and Education were first introduced into Great Britain, 
where many monuments of interest still exist. They will afterwards 
proceed from Oban to Glencoe, and after visiting the Glen, will go on to 
Fort William and Banavie, at the foot of Ben Nevis; from thence up the 
Caledonian Canal amidst the magnificent scenery of its banks to Inverness: 
and from Inverness by railway to the Pass of Killiekrankie, Pitlochrie, 
Dunkeld, Perth, and Edinburgh. Stirling will be seen in connection with 
the tour to the Trossachs, and lakes. After spending two days in Modern 
Athens, the party will proceed southward, calling at Melrose and Abbots- 
ford, where they will have the opportunity of seeing the house of Sir Walter 
Scott, with its museum and interesting associations, just as it was left by 
him. They will then proceed, still on their southward way, by Carlisle 
through Leeds, Sheffield, and other central towns, to Leicester, and 
London. Thus the whole party will have been kept together until their 
arrival in the great metropolis, after which they will be dispersed in con- 
venient numbers for the following routes on the Continent: 

THE FIRST DIVISION 
will embrace all that has been indicated in Ireland and Scotland, and 
will include Paris, but it is not designed to extend beyond Paris, as expe- 
rience has suggested that many wish to spend more time in London and in 
other parts of England than can be possibly provided in the more extensive 
arrangements of last season. 

Price $350, Cold. 

WHICH INCLUDES 

First-Class Steamboats and Railways for the entire round from New York 
back to New York; meals and accommodation in accordance with the 
osual custom of the countries: In Great Britain, three full meals per day, 
bedroom, lights, service, etc. ; in Paris, two meals, viz., meat breakfast and 
Table d'Hote, dinner (with wine), bedroom, lights, attendants, etc. 

IT ALSO INCLUDES 

jaunting cars to Giant's Causeway. Carriages to Pass of Glencoe. Car- 
riages to Abbotsford. Carriages and guide for five days sight-seeing in 
Paris, as per programme to be prepared. Omnibuses to and from Hotels,

where required. Porterage, guides, fees for sight-seeing, and free trans- 
portation of 60 lbs. baggage while traveling with conductor. 

IT PROVIDES FOR 

Ocean traveling 20 days. 

British Hotel Coupons 20 " 

Continental Hotel Coupons 10 " 

Total 50 " 

Under this arrangement passengers may easily extend their time, and 
visit other places not named in the itinerary, the tickets being good with- 
out any extra charge* for six months, and if deviations are made which 
render it impracticable to use any of the tickets which will be provided by 
Cook, Son & Jenkins, an allowance will be made for such tickets, and 
passengers will be left to linger or travel at their discretion, without 
prejudice. 

THE SECOND DIVISION, 

Or the Educational Tour proper, will embrace all that is included in the 
first division as far as London, and from thence, the fine steamers of the 
General Steam Navigation Company will be taken down the extent of the 
river Thames to its mouth, passing by all the interesting places to be seen 
on both its banks by daylight, thence over the Channel and up the river 
Scheldt to Antwerp, with its quaint and interesting objects of interest. 
After a short stay train will be taken to Brussels, to have a look at its 
monuments, palaces, and art galleries ; then by day train through Verviers 
and Aix-la-Chapelle to Cologne, with its cathedral. From Cologne 
steamer will be taken up the Rhine, passing through scenery, in- 
teresting alike to the lover of nature and to the tradition hunter, 
by castles innumerable and by many a lofty crag, to Mayence. Here 
the rail will be resumed to Heidelberg, where sufficient time will 
be allotted to the inspection of the immense ruins of the castle. 
Thence a short railway ride will bring the passengers to Baden-Baden, most 
delightfully situated on the verge of the Black Forest. After a short stay 
here, the journey will be resumed to Bale, the "Gate of Switzerland," stop- 
ping on the way to make a hurried visit to Strasburg, and inspect its world- 
renowned cathedral, clock, and numerous other objects of interest. At 
Bale the passengers will enter on their grand Tour through Switzerland, 
the land of peaks, passes, and glaciers. Train will be taken to Lucerne, 
which is most advantageously situated for excursions to the surrounding 
mountains. A trip along the whole length of the Lake of the Four 
Cantons, said to be the most beautiful lake in Switzerland, is included in 
the programme, and the ascent of the Righi mountain by railway, will in- 
volve but slight additional cost. Then the Tour will be resumed through 
the Bernese Oberland by carriage, over the Brunig Pass, and by steamer 
across the Lake of Brienz to Giessbach, a charmingly situated spot, abound- 
ing in flowers, woods, and water. This latter, in the shape of the Giess- 
bach Waterfall, forms the chief attraction of the place. Leaping from crag 
to crag, the cataract forms a fairy-like background to the floral beauty of 
the Giessbach Garden, and when at night the waterfall is illuminated by 
colored fires, the observers are filled with wonder and admiration. 

From Giessbach steamer will be taken to Interlacken, which is a con- 
venient centre for excursions to the heart of the Oberland district. Car- 
riages may be obtained at a slight cost to Lauterbrunnen for the Staubbach 
waterfall and the Jungf rau mountain, to Grindelwald for the great glaciers', 
or to other places of interest. From Interlacken the American railroad 



COOK 8 SECOND EDUCATIONAL TOUR. 7 

cars will be utilized as far as Darligen, then steamer to Thun, and railway 
again to Berne, the capital of Switzerland. This quaint and interesting 
city having received due attention, the rail will be resumed to Lausanne, 
touching, if possible, at Freiburg, in order to hear the music of the cele- 
brated organ and to see the suspension bridges. From Lausanne steamer 
will be taken across Lake Leman, past Vevey, Montreux, and Chillon to 
Bouveret, whence a short railway ride will bring the passengers to Mart-'^ny, 
a picturesque village, charmingly situated at an important juncture j|of 
mountain passes. Here mules and guides will come into requisition for 
the passage of the Tete Noire, a journey replete with interest, and dis- 
playing at every step and on every side new views of natural beauty. The 
little village of Chamouny, where the next stay will be made, is so delight- 
fully situated amid the monarchs of the Pennine Alps and at the foot of 
Mont Blanc itself, that the true lover of nature can wish for no happier spot 
in which to indulge his fancy and his taste for the poetical and. the sub- 
lime, then by diligence to Geneva, then to Paris, and so return to London 
and Glasgow, to sail for New York.

THE THIRD DIVISION 

provides the same tour as in the second to Mayence, at which point the 
railway is taken to Munich, the capital of Bavaria, with its fine galleries ; 
from that point over the Brenner to Innsbruck, most delightfully situated 
in the Austrian Tyrol, and celebrated as containing the fine tomb of Max- 
imillian, and the statue of Andreas Hofer ; thence to Verona, and on to 
Venice, for two day's pleasure on its famous Canals. From Venice the 
route will be, via Padua, Bologna, and over the Appennine Mountains 
to Florence, for a look at its miles of picture galleries, then forward to 
Rome, for a thorough examination of its ancient and modern wonders, 
under the guidance of Mr. Shakspeare Wood, the celebrated archaeologist. 
From Rome we return, via Civita Vecchia, to Pisa, to see the leaning 
Tower : then to Turin, and Milan with its famous Cathedral ; from Milan 
we will proceed to Camerlata by rail, where the diligence will be taken 
over the Alps, via the splendid St. Gothard Pass, passing by the new Tun- 
nel, now being made, which is to rival the Mt. Cenis in size. At Fluelen 
the steamer is taken down the Lake of the Four Cantons to Lucerne, from 
there by boat and carriage to Giessbach with its Illuminated Waterfall ; 
then to Interlacken, Berne, Lausanne and Geneva, giving a sufficient time to

IT ALSO INCLUDES, . 

besides the provisions mentioned in the first and second divisions, Gondolas 
for one day in Venice ; carriages and service of Mr. Wood in Rome for two 
days. 

THE FARES FOR THE THREE DIVISIONS DO NOT INCLUDE 

carriage drives in cities or other places not mentioned in the intinerary, as 
experience has taught us that no organized plan can be arranged in large 
places, so many things are to be seen, and there is so much diversity of opinion. 
The Conductor each day will announce his programme for the following 
day, and those who desire may accompany him, and those who prefer to make 
their own small carriage party, are at perfect liberty to do so. For those 
who go with the Conductor, he will engage carriages, pay fees, etc., but 
the amount must be borne by the party accompanying him. It docs not 
include wines or drinks where the hotel does not provide them. 

Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins are aware that the subject of the fares 
charged for the tour of last season has been freely discussed, and it is not 
disputed that some inveterate travelers, subjecting themselves to most 
rigid economy, traveling in many parts by third-class trains, and living 
in inferior hotels, might accomplish the journey for sums about equal to 
their charges, but it must be borne in mind that these arrangements pro- 
vide for first-class traveling all the way, for first-class hotel accomodation,' 
for all the incidentals of traveling, including baggage charges for 60 lbs per 
passenger, and for personal attention and assistance everywhere ; so that tra- 
velers, so long as they continue with the Conductor, have nothing to pay for, 
except the drinks which they may consume, and for carriage drives and admis- 
sions to places of interest of minor importance to those included in the 
contract. This renders the whole the cheapest possible arrangement that 
could be made for such a tour. Although the extreme point of Vienna is 
not readied in the present arrangement, yet more than an equivalent as to 
time and expense is given in the extended tour through Scotland, and in 
additions which will be made in various parts of the Continental Tour. 
In traveling to Vienna there was but one object for which long tiresome 
journeys had to be made between Munich and that city, and many on 
reaching Vienna were very glad to get away again as soon as possible, and 
considered that they had lost much of greater interest in Switzerland and 
other parts of the Continent, by the time which was necessarily consumed 
in that journey.

DEPOSITS 



Of $50 currency are required from those who intend making either of the 
tours named in this programme, upon receipt of which the name will be en- 
rolled for the division desired, in the order the deposit is made; the state- 
rooms and seats at the table will be given in the same order, the choicest 
locations being given to the earliest depositors. Necessity compels us to 
adhere strictly to this rule, which will not be broken. No name will be 
enrolled nor will any berth be alloted till the deposit is received. 

Deposit receipts will be sent by next mail after receipt of the $50, 
showing the order in which the applicant stands on our list. 



14 cook's second educational tour. 

WITHDRAWALS OF DEPOSITS. 

$40 of the deposit made may be withdrawn up to May first, after which 
time the whole amount is due, and can be paid at any time up^to within 
five days of sailing. 

PAYMENTS OF PASSAGE MONEY. 

After May first, the amount of the passage money can be paid by gold 
draft on New York to the order of Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins, for the 
full amount, we returning the $50 deposited. 

"Where gold drafts are not procurable, the amount may be sent in cur- 
rency draft on New York, with the gold premium added ; in these cases'the 
deposit will be deducted from the payment. 

The "Deposit receipt " must in all cases be returned for cancellation. 

DIFFERENT DIVISIONS. 

When our friends enroll their names as members of our 1874 Educational 
Party, we hope they will kindly indicate to us which division they propose 
to join. 

They need not necessarily be confined to that division, as the utmost 
liberty of change will be allowed up to time of departure. We will not 
book any as members of the Educational Party except those who decide 
to join either the first, second, or third division. 

THE STEAMER ENGAGED. 

At the date this programme is prepared, it is not possible to announce the 
name of the steamer on which the party will leave New York, but our 
engagement with the Anchor Line, requires them to provide us either the 
"Victoria," "California," "Bolivia" or "Ethiopia." The "Victoria" 
was the steamer we had last year, and is celebrated as one of the finest and 
fastest on the Ocean. The "California" is her twin sister. The 
"Ethiopia " and " Bolivia, " are new ships, larger and finer than either of the 
two named, and are said by good judges to be the most magnificent palaces 
afloat ; it is intended that no other passengers than members of this party 
shall go on her, the steamer being specially engaged for this party. When 
the names of the steamers sailing June 20th and 27th are positively known 
the lest will be selected ; our depositors will be informed at once, by circu- 
lar, and a diagram of the vessel will be forwarded, showing the location 
of the berth allotted. 

RETURN FROM EUROPE. 

It will be observed that the programme of the Second Division ends at 
Glasgow, August 15th ; and that of the Third Division at the same place 
August 29th. We will have the berths engaged on the steamers returning 
at those dates respectively, for each member of the' Second and Third Divi- 
sions, therefore it is quite important that Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins be 
informed at an early day, the names of those of the party who wish to avail 
themselves of the privilege given by the return Ocean ticket of lingering 
in Europe beyond the time provided in the programme. 

The crowded condition of all returning steamers at that season renders 
it imperative that Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins should take prompt 
measures to secure eligible positions on steamers for members of this 
party, particularly as the .great latitude given on the return Ocean ticket 
prevents their securing an entire steamer from Glasgow. 

We will only engage return berths from Glasgow for members of the 
First Division when ordered to do so. 



cook's second educational tour. 15 

DETOURS. 

Any members of this party may, if they wish, return from London 
through Ireland, taking the steamer at Londonderry. They can avail 
themselves of any of the numerous combinations for Ireland offered by us 
in our various programmes, and full credit will be given on any new tour 
for the_value of unused*Railway tickets. 

EXTENSION OF TOUR, AND BREAKS IN 
JOURNEY. 

As before expressed, Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins will not enroll any 
passengers for the vessel on which this party sails, but those booked as 
members of the Educational party ; however any who wish may extend their . 
Tour and avail themselves of the many hundred combinations offered in the 
columns of the Excursionist. The full amount of the passage money must 
be paid in New York previous to sailing, and those who stop, or 
change their programmes can receive back in money the value of their un- 
used Railway tickets and Hotel Coupons (less 10 per cent.), or have them 
exchanged for other tickets at their full value. 

BAGGAGE. 

60 pounds of baggage will be allowed each passenger free throughout 
the tour, though members of the party can use their own pleasure as to 
quantity between New York and London, English Railway Companies 
allowing 112 lbs. to each passenger. Surplus baggage can be stored in the 
capacious luggage room of "Cook's International Buildings," in London. 

PASSPORTS 

are not absolutely required by any of the countries through which this 
party passes. Still, though not a necessity, they are a convenience, as they 
serve frequently to procure admission to private galleries, and also to 
identify their holders, when letters are taken from Post Offices, etc. 

Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins have printed a supply of the proper 
blanks, and will procure Passports for any who wish them, at a cost of 
50 cts. each, the oath before a Notary being paid for by the applicant. It 
is necessary to state whether the applicant be a native-born or naturalized 
citizen. 

LETTERS. 

Members of the Educational Party will have their letters addressed to 
care of Thos. Cook & Son, Fleet Street, London, when they will be for- 
warded. 

REDUCED FARES TO AND FROM NEW YORK. 

Cook's American Tourist tickets are now in operation over many lines of 
American Railways ; they are, therefore, in a position to give the members 
of this party the benefit of reduced rates between the interior and New 
York. 

EARLY DEPOSITS. 

This programme has been delayed a much longer time than we expected, 
waiting the completion of important Steamboat and Railway arrange- 
ments. In attempting to work through so large a party as this gives 
promise of being, and as that of last year proved to be, arrange- 
ments of a sjyecial character must be made, we are glad to say they are all 
now completed, and we hope the many hundreds who have been so long 
waiting the reception of the programme will be pleased with it.

COOK 8 SECOND EDUCATIONAL TOUR. 



We desire to convince all who contemplate the trip that it is important 
they should send in their deposits early, in order to secure a good position 
on the steamer. 

We have already in our possession, deposits from several ladies and 
gentlemen, left with us before the route was known, and as our last year's 
party was full on May first, we expect that this year the demand will 
be even greater, particularly as Mr. THOMAS COOK is to conduct it from 
New York in person. 

NAMES OF LAST YEAR'S PARTY. 
We have been written to so frequently for the names of the ladies and 
gentlemen who participated in last year's Educational Party, that we have 
concluded to insert them in this pamphlet, not that we require a reference, 
or give them as such, though we candidly believe that every one will give 
us a kind word, and an encouragement for our scheme of this year. 
But we insert the names more as a matter of record, and a satisfaction 
to our inquirers.

We have taken from the columns of the Excursionist for April, 1873, 
the following, which may be of interest to those contemplating this Tour : 

"We have received very many letters, and from every State in the 
Union, making application for berths, and asking for more information. 
Some, though a very few, we are glad to say, had never before heard of 
the name of " Cook, " and have expressed some doubts as to our ability 
to carry out the programme we announce. They seem to think the price 
so low for what we agree to perform, that there must be some humbug in 
the arrangement, and ask anxiously, " how we can afford to do it so 
cheaply?" whilst some of this class of inquirers ask for reference as to our 
responsibility, etc. On. the other hand, many, who are possibly better 
informed, and know of our responsibility, make the required deposit of 
$50, have their names registered, and make themselves sure of a place and 
choice of berth on the steamship. 

The state-rooms on. board the steamers crossing the Atlantic are none 
of them as large as a bedroom at a hotel, and travelers must naturally ex- 
pect to find their quarters contracted, and must prepare their large trunks 
(if they take them) to go into the hold, and have, in a bag or state-room 
trunk, the necessary changes of linen, etc., for a ten-days' ocean passage. 
A state-room trunk is a trunk not over 12 inches high, that can be placed 
under the lower berth. 

The state-rooms are arranged for two, three, and four passengers. A 
gentleman and wife will have a room with two berths, or a family party 
may be suitably arranged. We shall also endeavor to arrange every mem- 
ber of the Tour in the most agreeable manner for all concerned. 

We are asked by letter and in person, very frequently, what clothing is 
required for a journey to Europe. We are really unable to answer, though 
about half what a person who has never been there imagines is required 
will answer, we think, never omitting an overcoat for a gentleman, and 
waterproof and hood for a lady, for the ocean ; bonnets cannot be worn at 
sea. Nearly every one buys new clothing in Europe, for it is much 
cheaper than in this country. We will say, don't bother laying in stores 



18 cook's second educational tour. 

for sickness, etc. ; they are of no possible use, and will only be in the 
way, and you will have no illness, if ycu are prudent, except sea-sickness, 
and that can not possibly do you harm, as no one ever died from the 
disease. 

Among the features of our fine new Tourist office in London are the fa- 
cilities we have provided for the storage of surplus luggage for our Tourists, 
so that members of this party can make all the uses of it necessary, and 
also can, if they so desire, have any or all their purchases forwarded direct 
to our Fleet Street office. 

When a deposit is made, we give a "Deposit Receipt," stipulating that 
if the depositor wishes to withdraw previous to May 1st, he can do so, and 
receive back $40 of the amount deposited ; so that it costs but $10 for any 
member, or proposed member, to register his or her name now. And should 
such depositors find it more convenient to join one of our other Tours, or 
avail themselves of any of our single journey or other tickets, the whole 
amount will be credited. Several of our friends have tendered us $10 
each, as a deposit and forfeit in case they did not pay the balance previous 
to May 1st, but we have declined making any exception to our rule."

To leave New York, Monday, May 4th, 1874. 

We are gratified to be able to announce, that our Tourist arrangements 
with many American Railway Companies are of so satisfactory a character, 
that we expect to show in the April Excursionist a list of at least Five 
Hundred Tours, nearly all new, and at extremely low rates. Our Euro- 
pean firm are already sending forth thousands of programmes, showing 
fares from London, Glasgow, Birmingham, Paris, Brussels, Cologne, 
Geneva, Rome, and other places to the United States and Canadas ; we 
can therefore confidently expect, before the season is over, to have the 
pleasure of conducting numerous parties of Europeans through the extent 
of this country. 

We print the following programme, which has been issued at our 
London office, and take pleasure in saying that we are prepared to accept 
a few travelers for the Tour as announced, to be taken up at New York, 
Philadelphia or other places on the route. 

The earnest desire to promote feelings of International reciprocity and 
cordiality, which influenced Mr. Thomas Cook to make his first trip to 



20 COOIv's PERSONALLY CONDUCTED AMERICAN TOUR. 

America, in the autumn of 1865, was most happily realized, on the part of 
Americans, in the summer of 1873, when, under the arrangements of 
COOK, SON & JENKINS, of New York, and of THOMAS COOK & 
SON, London, 150 school teachers and others connected with Educational 
work were brought in a single party to Europe, received a hearty welcome 
in Ireland, Scotland, and England, traversed the Continent in Four Divis- 
ions, under personal escort, and then returned to tell the story of their re- 
ception and pleasures to thousands of American citizens. 

But that large Party did not represent half the Americans who came in 
parties to travel under our arrangements, nor more than a tenth of those 
who came from New York and traveled in Europe under our provisions 
and regulations. It rejoices our hearts to be assured, by hundreds of 
newspapers and private letters, that these great numbers have returned in 
the best of spirits, and through their recommendations many are now 
traveling in the East — on the Nile, in the Desert, through Palestine, and 
some Round the World, under our arrangements. One distinguished 
"Oriental Topographical Corps," consisting of nearly a dozen Professors 
of Colleges, talented Clergymen, Geographers, Topographers, and Photo- 
graphers, provided with scientific apparatus, have committed themselves 
to our management fbr more than nine months, about six months being 
spent in Egypt on the Nile and by its banks ; in the Desert, visiting Sinai, 
Petra, and other historic places ; in Palestine, the Hauran, Moab, the Le- 
banon, to Baalbec and the Cedars ; from thence to Asia Minor, Constanti- 
nople, and Athens; through Northern Italy, Switzerland, and Germany; 
returning through England, Scotland, and Ireland, and completing their 
Tour near the end of September. These evidences of confidence and cor- 
diality on the part of educated and high-minded Americans are worthy of 
British imitation and traveling enterprise; and Messrs. Thomas Cook & 
Son are ambitious to be instrumental in promoting reciprocal arrangements 
and international visits in the Western States, where tens of thousands of 
British people have gone to realize comforts and fortunes. 

America presents innumerable attractions for British Visitors and Tour- 
ists ; and Messrs. Cook, Son & Jenkins have succeeded in bringing nearly 
the whole of its vast Railroad and Steamboat system under tribute to their 
traveling arrangements. 

At the Office of TnoMAs Cook & Son, Ludgate Circus, London, several 
hundreds of actual Traveling Tickets, for Single Journeys and Circular 
Tours, are ready to be issued in connection with Atlantic Steamboat Tick- 
ets for all the principal Ocean Steamboat lines. These Tickets can be had 
at any time, by single travelers or parties, and most of them are at reduced 
rates, specially arranged by Mr. Jenkins, of New York. Mr. Jenkins has 
also succeeded in establishing a system of HOTEL COUPONS for many of 
the great Hotels of the States, at uniform and moderate prices. 

Mr. Thomas Cook is so deeply impressed with the interest and import- 
ance of these International arrangements, that he has resolved to make 
another Personal Tour to, and through, a great extent of the United States 
and Canada, in anticipation of returning with the next Educational party 
at the latter end of June. The Itinerary of the Chief Tour is given below, 
and will be found to include many important Cities and Districts, from 
New York to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, many famous places 
in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, as far as the Mammoth Cave ; also will 
be visited Cincinnati, St. Louis, Springfield (the Home and Grave of Lin- 
coln), Chicago, Detroit, Windsor, London, and other principal places in 
Canada, to Niagara Falls; then Toronto, down the St. Lawrence, through 
the Rapids and the Thousand Islands to Montreal ; from thence to Quebec,
